Challenges

Portfolio Transitions Are Hard to Model in a Spreadsheet

Moving a prospect from their current holdings to a target allocation means extracting cost basis, calculating gains, and modeling the transition path — all before the proposal goes out

Cost basis extraction is manual and error-prone

Pulling lot-level cost basis from statements, matching purchase dates, and separating short-term from long-term gains takes time and precision that spreadsheets make harder than it should be.

Transition scenarios are hard to compare

Immediate transition, phased over two years, harvest losses first — each path has different tax consequences. Modeling them side-by-side in a spreadsheet means rebuilding the analysis from scratch each time.

Multi-account households multiply the complexity

Clients with IRAs, trust accounts, and taxable brokerage accounts need coordinated transition plans. Optimizing which lots to move from which accounts means tracking cost basis across all of them at once.

How It Works

How Tax Transition Analysis Works

Extract cost basis, model the transition path, include it in the proposal, and use the same plan to implement

Step 1

Automated Cost Basis Extraction

Upload any brokerage statement. AI extracts cost basis, purchase dates, and lot-level detail automatically. No manual data entry—complete analysis in minutes.

Step 2

Model Around a Tax Budget

Set an annual capital gains budget and model transitions that stay within it. Compare immediate vs. phased strategies side-by-side. Federal and state taxes calculated automatically based on client brackets.

Step 3

Include the Transition Plan in the Proposal

Add the transition path directly to the investment proposal — current vs. target allocation, capital gains impact, and the year-by-year roadmap. The prospect sees exactly how the portfolio gets from here to there.

Step 4

Use the Same Plan to Implement

Once the client approves, the transition plan becomes the implementation guide. Track which positions to move, when to move them, and how the capital gains budget is tracking — without rebuilding the analysis.
